Celebrity Scissorhands is a reality television show that is part of the BBC's Children in Need charity campaign, in which celebrities attempt to cut people's hair to raise money for the campaign while trained and watched by professional hairdresser Lee Stafford.
The celebrities were trained by Lee Stafford, a leading hairdresser, at a hair and beauty academy set up at the BBC Television Centre in London which was opened to the public on 4 November.
BBC stars and ordinary people had makeovers performed at the academy.
On 17 November, five of the celebrities, chosen by a public telephone and text message vote, appeared live in the salon during the Children in Need show.
These were Steve Strange, Scott Mills, Darren Day, Michelle Dewberry and Ortis Deley.
